That doesn't address the issue Dave L raised. I don't know off hand what POSIX decreed for "character classes" involving ideographs. My guess is that they have to not count as uppercase or lowercase, and probably not as alphabetic nor alphanumeric. You could ask similar questions about accented characters in alphabet-based languages. This isn't about character coding so much as it is about classification.
